I kick myself in the arse for not snapping up a bunch of Finnish MN for $79.95 at Big5.

Check out the parts diagram here at Numrich: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/henry-repeating-arms/big-boy-henry It does have a rising locking block (part 35) like the Marlin. I have not physically handled any newer big bore Henrys and am not in a position to make any assertions.

Lotsa practice on scrap pieces. You can bondo it to a flat piece of wood you mount in a vise. Draw a line from the longest point. Cross that line with another line from the other long point. Use a single tooth cutting tool and trace the line and then the other. Sharpen both lines. Those...

Closed.

Cylinder first because it has to contain the charge. Highest pressure is in the cylinder. After the cylinder, a lot of gas/pressure escapes from the barrel & cylinder gap. Barrels #2 b/c of the pressure and the flying lead. Frame has to hold it everything together but if it's cracked, it...

Check out the Naval Institute Press. They have books on the guns of various navies. Last time I checked they had one for German guns and three for the Royal Navy. Cap 'N Mac is correct. Around the time of the American Civil War there were plenty of smoothbore guns shipboard. Rifled...

M-2 Springfield. That's the original M-2 that was an '03 action barreled for 22 LR.

Again, strongly suggest contacting Kirst. They know their metallurgy and heat treatment (if any) and the limitations of their product.

Brass frames hate heavy loads. Stay w/in SAAMI specs & your frame's limitation. Just B/C you can load something hot doesn't mean you should do it. Safety always. Write Kirst and ask them.

If the plunger goes into each cylinder, then check the alignment. How the slot is milled in the plunger to the lever is important. Concentric? If not, that could be causing the binding. Sloppy machining? Needle file time. If the plunger is good, next examine the lever for imperfection.

Justify the budget. We participated in _____ raids and assisted in ____ convictions. We could do better if you give us ____ more dollars.

Thanks Styx. I should have figured in was New York laws. ATF should not have been involved as they had no jurisdiction.

What crime? Manufacturing for himself is no crime.

Considering the quantity of federal reserve notes created since that Trooper originally sold for $99, I think it's a bargain. Think of it in term of gold. $35 oz back then and it's almost 3 ounces or $105. Today that same 3 oz would be overr $6,900. At less than $1k, that's not even half...

Blame Matthew Brady and other picturre takerrs of the era. Pop guns, prrop swords to make the man more ferocious and improves his military bearing. He can tell his children that he capturerd all those Rebels and that they were posing with him. Alternatively, he could say they all got drunk...

Find the thread/diameter and have a screw made (or check out Fastenal). You need a thread pitch gauge.

He's a prisoner of war. Next question. I never even noticed as I was looking at the fyre-arms.

Congratulations. I have a lifetime membership with a club in Californiastan but have not been there for over a decade. The two-day commute is a killer.

The initial batch of MK III Troopers had poorly sintered (MIM) parts that fell apart. Colt did a better job with the later MK III Troopers. I would buy it.

I thought Col. Mikah Jenkins' Palmetto Sharp Shooters were armed with the P53 Enfield. If that's N-SSA, you're lucky to be in a region that has them. They're not here in the Midwest (Coloradostan). Two companies of the Palmetto Sharp Shooters were detached and fought alongside the Georgians...
